A recent survey of high school students in Ontario showed that fully one third of those in grades 10 to 12 have texted while driving, which rises to 46 per cent for students in their graduating year.

It’s a scary statistic given the aggressive law enforcement of distracted driving by Ontario police forces. Clearly, some teens aren’t getting the message that texting and driving can be extremely distracting and dangerous.

Pushing the point home in blunt fashion, cartoonist Steve Nease envisions what is sure to be an inevitable scenario in which two texting teens (perhaps they are communicating with each other) are headed for a collision due to the distraction of texting.

It’s straightforward and to the point, which adds to its effectiveness in getting his message across: texting and driving don’t mix.
